how to choose a Sander?
Sanders are a type of tools used for sanding and polishing surfaces of different materials, facilitating the sanding process and saving time and effort compared to manual sanding. They use rotary, vibratory or orbital motion to sand and polish all types of surfaces. They are equipped with a base that holds sandpaper or abrasive discs.
Some of the main features to consider when choosing a sander model that suits your needs are as follows.
- Sanding motion: Sanders can have different types of sanding motion, such as orbital, vibratory or rotary. Each type of motion influences the sanding pattern and works best on one type of material or another.
- Adjustable power and speed: The electric motor of these tools should allow the sanding speed to be adjusted according to the type of material and the desired result.
- Sanding base or sanding plate: All hand sanders have a sanding base or sanding plate on which the sandpaper or abrasive disc is placed. These bases can be of different sizes and shapes and can be replaced to use different types of sandpaper.
- Clamping system: These types of sanders have a clamping system to keep the sandpaper on the base. They can be made of clips, Velcro or even adhesives, depending on the model and type of sander.
- Ergonomic design: As good portable tools, sanders are designed to be ergonomic and comfortable to use. They have non-slip grips and contours adaptable to the shape of the hand for improved control.
- Dust collection: Some sanders include integrated dust collection systems to help keep the work environment clean and reduce the amount of airborne dust.
- Easy sandpaper change: One of the most important mechanisms in sanders is the quick and easy change of sandpaper or abrasive disc, thus speeding up the sanding process.
